INHALER AND NnURALeIcrnNcm application med March 2c, reas. serial no.627,857.

To alli'wlzom t may vconcern.'

Be it known that I, HERMAN DANZIGER, citizen of the Republic of Russia,residing at New York city, New York, have 'invented .new and usefulImprovements in Inhalers "and Neuralgic lPencils, ofb which the followinVis a specification.

simple in constructiomhygienic and eicient in operation, and whichcomprises a series of interchangeable, nested compartments designed toperform certain functions in the .application of the article and adaptedto contain volatile material or substances, the

fumes of which are useful for medicinal purthe body poses.

The invention is illustratively exemplified in the accompanyingdrawings, in which,

Figure 1 is an elevational view of my improved device. and Figure 2 is asubstantially7 longitudinal section of the same; and Figure 3 is a Viewof the several compartments of the -inhaler in 4separated positions;and' Figure 4 is an elevational view of the device showing thecompartments arranged as they would appear when the neuralgic pencil-.

Referring to the drawings, 10. ldesignates device is used asxa I atubular body portion having a closed end and through the center of whichis 10a provided with an outwardly projecting nipplell. The end portionof the body ,10;

extending inwardly from the closed end thereof is'of a smaller diameterthan the main body portion and is set olf from the latter by an annularraised' bead 12. I A series of perfor-ations 13 lare provided in theportion disposed betweenthe bead 12 and the open end of the tube. lTheni ple 11 is exteriorly threaded and'is adapte to receive the threadedbore of a mouth piece 14 which comprises a tubularmember having oneclosed end and a tapered .o'ien end isposed an integral rejection 14awherein is formed the threade bore-above referred to, as clearlyillustrated in Figures 2 and 3.

The open end of the tubularbody 10 receives a cap 15 which comprises acup shaped member having a bead 16- encircling the midportion thereofand adapted to seat against the edge of the body 10. If desired a.menthol cone, designatedl?, may beat- ,tached to the cap 15 and arrangedso as to lproject outwardly from the capand into the body portion 10closely adjacent the orifices 1.3. The diameter of the cap 15 is.similarx o n both sides of the bead 16 and is substantlally .the samedimension as the smaller "end of the body portion -10 so as to' enablethe cap to be inserted into' the open or nlarger lend of the body'10 ineither axial position, i.' e. with the vmenthol cone 17 disposed outsideor inside of the body..

C To facilitate -the use of the article for a 7nasal inhaler theinvention is provided with a nose piece 18 comprising a tubular mem berhaving a closed and an open end and'of a diameter to embrace the smallerdiameter 0f the bodylO, i. e. between the bead 12 and the 'closed end10a. .The nose piece 18 is adapted to be slipped over the Vclosed end ofpiece -10 and the edge thereof seated against the bead 12, as shown in fFigures 1 and 2: The closed end of the nose piece 18 isprovided with anoutwardlyproi jecting nipple 19which.is adapted to be s inserted intothe nostril 4of the -userand which is provided with'a bore aligned withthe opening in the mouth piece 14 and ni ple 11. i

- en it. is desired to use nasal instrument the compartments are' artheinhaler as a' .ranged as shown in Figures 1 and 2f and the nipple 19 isVinserted into the nostril of the user. By the act of inhaling, air isdrawn through the orifices 13 and directed against the menthol cone 17,which will mix, with the air to form medicated fumes, whereupon thefumes thus formed will pass through 'the body 10, nipple 11 and.outwardly through the nose piece and nipple 18 and discharge into -thenostril.

If it is desired to employ the aitif-:le as a mouth inhaler the nosepiece 18 is removed.

and placed over the projecting end of the cap 15, as shown indotted'lines in Figure 2, and the shaped end of the mouth piece 14 isinserted between'the lips of the user, who may inhale fuinesfrom theinterior of the body 10, as above described.

By rearranging -the compartments, as shown in Figure 4, the cap 15 maybe reversed so as to bring the menthol cone 17 on the outside where itmay be used as a neural ic pencil. 1

` aving now described my invention what Iclaimisz- 1. An inhaler andpencil of the character body portion closed at one end and provided witha bored nipple, a cap to close the opposite end of the tubular bodyportion and provided with a receptacle to hold medicine, a mouth pieceadjustable over said nipple, and a nose piece adapted to embrace theclosed end of the .body portion.

2. An inhaler and pencil, as claimed in claim 1, in which the bodyportion is provided with a bead to receive the edge of the nose piece,the diameter of the said body portion being smaller on the side of thebead having the closed end, and the cap is provided With a bead midwaythereof to abut the edge of the body portion in both possible reversepositions of the cap and to abut the edge of the said nose piece whenthe latter is placed thereover to expose the mouth piece substantiallyas described.

3. ln an inhaler'and pencil of the character described, the combinationwith a perforated tubular-body portion provided with a closed end havinga threaded nipple with a through bore and a pro'ecting annular beaddisposed about the ody and forwardly of the perforations' thereof, theportion of the body menate between the said bead and the closed endbeing of a diameter smaller than the diameter of the-body on theopposite side of the bead,

of a cap to close the opposite end of the body portion and having a beaddisposed mi'dvay of its length and adaptedto abut the edge of the bodyportion in both possibleaxial positions of the cap in the body, the saidcapbead of the latter and extending' over the` mouth piece, the saidnose piece being provlded with a bored nipple at the closed end thereofaxially aligned with two passages {hlough the first nipple to theinterior of the In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

HERMAN DANZIGER.
